NCRI – Dr. Ahmad al-Alvani, a member of Iraqi parliament, condemned the joint conspiracy of Iranian regime's Ministry of Information Security and the Iraqi committee in charge of Ashraf, against the camps' residents.
Mr. al-Alvani urged the Iraqi government to live up to its international obligations towards the protection of residents of Ashraf.
Dr. al-Alvani said in a press remarks: "The unjust pressures which have been exerted on the 3400 residents of Camp Ashraf, is in fact a psychological war game that is being waged by the Iranian regime with the cooperation of Iraqi authorities”.
Mr. al-Alvani added: "on Tuesday February 16 an attack was staged against the defenseless and unarmed residents of the camp. Eements of the Iranian regime in coordination with Iraqi government forces attacked the camp by breaking the main gate and entering the camp. After breaking the main gate, they started to threaten and intimidate the unarmed residents."
" The Committee responsible for protection of camp Ashraf under direct orders of the Iraqi government, prevents the entry of trucks from delivering much needed food and medical supplies. According to the Fourth Geneva Convention, residents of Ashraf are protected persons."
Mr. al-Alvani said: "I ask the Iraqi government to honor the international treaties and commitments concerning the protection of the lives and dignity of the residents of Camp Ashraf. Also I call for implementation of necessary measures so that the tragic and inhumane actions of last July would not be repeated. Finally, yet importantly I urge the Iraqi government to disband the government committee that has been responsible for breaches of international humanitarian law and rights of Ashraf residents."
